Red Fang put on a really, really impressive performance last night at Roskilde Festival. I couldn’t have been more pleased. The Apollo Stage has been improved over the years, and I really like its look this year. The red velvet curtains and ceiling are awesome. The lighting is amazing.

My only complaint is that the sound quality varied widely depending on a person’s location. At the stage I couldn’t hear the vocals. On one side of the stage I could only hear bass and drums. So I spent most of the night in front of the mixing board where the sound was perfect.

Overkill @ Copenhell

@COPENHELL #copenhell @OverkillBand #TheGrindingWheel @nuclearblastusa @nuclearblasteu

Over 30 years ago I saw Megadeth on the “Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?” tour at The Stone in San Francisco. Overkill was the opener. I’ve been a fan of Overkill ever since, but Copenhell 2017 is just the second time I’ve had the chance to see them play live. They were a lot of fun and sounded really good.

Diamond Head’s Brian Tatler @ 2016 Metal Brew

@_METALBREW_ @DH_Diamond_Head #metalbrew #metalbrew2016 @MetalMagicDK

Copenhell hasn’t been over for more than 70 hours, yet I’m craving more. I’ll be going to the Roskilde Festival for four days in a row beginning tomorrow, and yet I know I’ll be going through withdrawals next week. So even though I previously said, with regard to the Metal Magic Festival, that

“If Diamond Head is playing on Thursday or Saturday AND at least two of the bands below are also playing on Thursday or Saturday, then I will probably make the trip for just that day.
Nifelheim
Tribulation
Absu”

and although Diamond Head is playing Saturday and only Absu is also playing on Saturday, I’ve decided to make the trip to Fredericia again anyway.

My reasoning is that if Diamond Head was ever playing two hours away from me in Southern Oregon, I’d make the trip. Therefore, tossing Absu in as an added bonus means I should make the journey while I have the chance.

So next Saturday I’ll be adding Metal Magic to my summer itinerary.
